PUBLISHER'S PREFACE After it was decided to publish Dr. Teerink's revision of his Swift bibliography, two major problems had to be resolved. First, the physical state of the manuscript: Dr. Teerink's additions had expanded it to where it could no longer be included in a single volume, and much of this new material was in longhand and required editing. Second, the completion of Dr. Teerink's work: he had not finished making certain projected changes, particularly his intended task of renumbering all the entries. Moreover, Dr. Teerink was ill at the time, and, since the University of Pennsylvania Library had acquired his Swift collection, he no longer had the books at hand with which to verify his material. At this point, A. H. Scouten, professor of English in the College, was requested to prepare the bibliography for the press. Professor Scouten's first step was to seek advice from eighteenthcentury scholars and bibliographers regarding Dr. Teerink's plan for renumbering the entries. Without exception, everyone he consulted advised him against discarding the old numbers, in view of the way the present Teerink numbering is embedded in books and articles on Swift and in dealers' catalogues. Dr. Teerink's reason for wishing to change the numbers requires an explanation of his policy in compiling this new edition." The original printing, in 1937, was greeted with rather sharp criticism by the reviewers, who did not impugn the accuracy of the contents but complained of the absence of full bibliographical descriptions, disputed the attribution to Swift of several works which did not belong in the canon, and questioned the organÍ2ation of the material. Furthermore, although the book was divided into overlapping categories, e.g., "Collected Works," "A Tale of a Tub," "Gulliver's Travels," and "Separate Works," some critics argued that the writings of a major author should be listed in chronological order. Finally, there were objections to Dr. Teerink's inclusion under "Collected Works" of any book or pamphlet which happened to contain more than a single piece by Swift. When he began to transfer such entries from "Collected Works," the initial section of his opus, he observed of course that such a transfer immediately disarranged his old numbering system. Accordingly, he had a real reason for wishing to renumber, as all entries whose position had been changed would be difficult for the reader to find by number. Our resolution of this problem has been to retain the original numbers but to list in a table at the beginning the pages on which all Teerink numbers are located. V

PUBLISHER'S

PREFACE

Admitting the logic of arranging all the entries in chronological order, one can still see some advantages in Dr. Teerink's organization for the present volume. It is useful to have all of the Faulkner editions placed together. It is convenient for the reader to have all of the printings of Gulliver's Travels in one section (where they are arranged chronologically, by country) rather than having to search through the entire book for them. The revisions and additions which Dr. Teerink has made in the present work are as follows: (1) He has provided full physical descriptions for all important books and pamphlets. (2) He has brought the work up to date by including the bibliographical findings of Swift scholarship during the past twenty-five years and by listing books and pamphlets which he had not seen or known about in 1937. (3) He has removed a considerable number of pieces attributed to Swift, either by dropping them or by relegating them to the section entided "Doubtful." (4) He has detached books or pamphlets containing several pieces from "Collected Works" and placed them in other sections. (5) He has transferred entries of works containing some contemporary comment on a work by Swift from the end of the book to where the work by Swift has been entered. These are indeed substantial contributions and would seem to justify a second verdict from Prince Posterity. A statement needs to be made concerning the nature and extent of the editorial work done by Professor Scouten. He has verified all of the physical descriptions of the books and pamphlets that were contained in the Teerink Collection, now in the Library of the University of Pennsylvania, and has made minor reforms in using bibliographical symbols where Dr. Teerink gave a lengthier verbal account. In order to hold the work to one volume, he has arbitrarily cut off all entries after Sir Walter Scott's edition of 1814 (except under "Biography and Criticism," where the entries extended to 1895). He has completed the replacement of contemporary criticism begun by Dr. Teerink. He has assigned numbers to new entries established by Dr. Teerink, has provided a table showing the location of all entries, and has made an index. He has silently omitted entries of some works not belonging in the Swift canon, particularly the John Bull pamphlets. In only one place has he revised any entries; in the light of new information, he has rearranged those for "Verses on the Death of Dr. Swift." Some of the items in Dr. Teerink's personal collection were destroyed during the allied attack on Arnheim during World War II. For this reason many of the copies described in the revision no longer exist and were not in the Teerink Collection when it was acquired by the University of Pennsylvania. The present editor Dr. Scouten, following Dr. Teerink's notes towards a revision,

adheres to the practice of locating the destroyed items in Teerink's " o w n " collection. For a full account of the circumstances, see A . H. Scouten, "Materials for the Study of Swift at the University of Pennsylvania," The Library Chronicle, X X I I I (1957), 47-52. Many of the new items catalogued by Dr. Teerink are descriptions of copies he saw at the home of J . Barry Brown, Esq., Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland, on his last trip abroad. All the books and pamphlets pertaining to Swift in Brown's excellent collection are now in the possession of the Huntington Library. The editorial work was long in completion because Professor Scouten was also preparing a history of the London theatres, and I wish to thank the University Committee for the Advancement of Research for two generous grants, and the English Department and the Library for funds enabling Douglas Wilson to assist Professor Scouten in verifying the entries and preparing the text for the press during the past two years. Acknowledgment is due to a number of scholars for providing advice or data on various cruxes, particularly Maurice Johnson and M. A . Shaaber, of the University of Pennsylvania, D . F. Foxon, of the British Museum, and G . W. Cottrell, Jr., of the Widener Library at Harvard. THOMAS YOSELOFF

Vols. V and VI were added in 1735 (which, of course, is wrong; the Preface itself in Vol. V, 1738, is dated: April 18, 1738), Vol. VII in 1741, and Vol. VIII in 1745. This makes me think there may be a Vol. VIII, 1745. The 1747 set is the only Faulkner edition that mentions the 'edition' on the tide-page of Vol. I, namely: The Sixth Edition, revised and corrected. As to the plates, see note 5, before No. 41, ante. 49.

Faulkner's 1 8mo Edition, 1762,

&c.

This edition is complete, not, as the 8vo and 12mo editions, in twenty volumes, but in nineteen, the Tale Of A. Tub forming Vol. XI, which caused a different distribution of the pieces over the later volumes. As early as 1754 Faulkner considered the publication of a 18mo edition of Swift's Works. In an Advertisement covering the last two pages of his edition of Brotherly hove. A Sermon, 1754 (see No. 808, post), he announced the publication of "a compleat, genuine, and correct Edition of the Tale of a Tub, free from the Errors of all former Editions, which will make the first, or eleventh Volume of Swift's Works, as the Purchaser shall please to bind them". This volume (in 18mo) was published in 1756. It had "Vol. X I . " at the foot of several pages, and appeared both as Vol. XI of the set (with title 'Vol. XI', 1756, in front), and as a separate issue (No. 242, post). Gulliver''s Travels also appeared in 1756 in 18mo, both as Vol. I l l of the set and as a separate issue (see No. 309, post).

Bent, Scatcherd & C°. \'ernor, Wynne, Wilkie, Lowndes, Evans & Kearsley. / 1791. [Tide decorated with flourishes.] Large 8vo; 8 pp., 1-472, 1-472. The second set of 472 pages contains 18 poetical pieces by Swift (pp. 27590). The difficulty is that the specific editions are not mentioned on the titlepages, but something may be learned from the Prefaces and Advertisements. As to the Prose, the 'New Edition' recorded above was apparently the fourth, the 1797 edition the seventh. The first edition was in 12mo, the second in 8vo (possibly 1770 and 1784; nothing by Swift in them yet). When the third edition of the Prose appeared, an edition (probably the first) of the Verse had just been published; and an enlarged edition (probably the second) of the Verse came out with the fourth edition of the Prose. In 1794 there were: 2 vols. Prose, 2 vols. Poetry, 1 vol. Epistles. (1st ed. 1790). In 1797 there were: 1 vol. Prose (7th ed. — see above). 1 vol. Poetry, 1 vol. Epistles.

There are also Large Paper copies. Copy: Penn. This edition contains marginal notes (which had already appeared in the first four editions), and (for the first time) the Apology, the Explanatory Notes (footnotes, partly by Swift himself, partly derived from Wotton), and the plates. The latter are: frontispieces to the Tale (signed B. Lens delin: J . Sturt sculp.) and to the Battle, and six others facing pp. 35, 56, 121, 138, 192, and 233. The original plan was a page-for-page reprint, with the Explanatory Notes not as footnotes as they now appear in this fifth edition, but placed at the end of the book, by themselves. This is proved by the plates in a copy in the Forster library, subscribed to face pp. 35, 55, 111, 127, 178 and 214, i.e. the corresponding pages in the first four editions. A further proof is supplied by the following separate edition of the Apology and the Explanatory Notes:

"The 'Apology' (pp. 3-24) is an offprint from ed. 5 with page numbers added. The 'Explanatory Notes' are the footnotes in ed. 5, but are printed in a body in the same type as the text of edd. 1-5. . . . The explanation of the date 1711 may be that the type had been kept standing in order to form along with an offprint of the 'Apology' a supplement to the earlier editions of the Tale." (A Tale Of A Tub, ed. Guthkelch and Nichol Smith, 1958, pp. L X V I I I LXX.) The Explanatory Notes By IV.

(4) Another edition: Same title and collation, but Juvatque printed ]iwat que. Plates as in No. 2 above. Notes: 1. The above four editions resemble each other so much — page for page, and line for line — that at first sight they seem to be the same. However, they are all different printings. Besides variations in the lettertypes (for instance the capital U, which appears as L[ and U; and the italic capital W, which appears as W and W ) the difference is i.a. distinguishable by the following points: No. 1 has: p. 69, 1. 3 from foot: 'Vein', p. 207,1. 5 from foot: 'uicely'. No. 2 has: p. 16,1. 3 from top: 'Higbnoss'. p. 50, 1. 1 from top: 'your'. No. 3 has: p. 69,1. 7 from foot: 'Pans', p. 164,1. 21 from top: 'videre'. No. 4 has: p. 176, 1. 1 from foot: 'Studant'. p. 177,11. 1-2 from top: 'sqee-zing'. I have purposely selected variations that do not occur in the corresponding places in the other volumes. 2. Plates occur in editions No. 2 (apparently not in all copies) and No. 4; not in the others. Exactly the same plates, i.e. the same off-prints, appear again in the 6th edition of the Tale, 1724, printed for S. Tooke and B. Motte (see No. 230, post), only with different page-inscriptions at foot to suit the different pagination. 3. None of the four editions has the new matter of the fifth 8vo edition, 1710 (Apology, and Explanatory Notes at foot). But Penn has copies of editions No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 with A Complete Key, 3rd ed., 1714, bound in at the end. This 3rd edition of the Key, 1714, occurs in two different shapes (see No. 1004,post)-, the Penn copies of editions No. 2 and No. 3 have it in the first, that of edition No. 4 in the second shape. It clearly served the double purpose of addition to a 1714 Curll edition of the Tale (see No. 228, post), and to the previous 1711 editions. — The Guildhall Library even possesses a 1711 copy of the Tale, with A Complete Key, 4th ed., 1724, bound in (see No. 1004, post). The 6th ed. of the Tale, 1724, (Tooke and Motte) cannot have had any need for this Key, as it has the Apology in front, and the Explanatory

Notes at foot. This makes me think there may have been a 'Curll' edition of the Tate in 1724 (see No. 231, post). 4. The above details are too slight to base on them any conclusion as to the sequence of these four editions. Yet 1 venture to suppose that No. 1 was published by Curll, and that on its appearance the real owner of the copyright, Tooke, had No. 2 printed, resembling its rival in the smallest details, and adding soon after the plates to outdo his competitor. No. 3 I take to be a reprint of No. 1 (or the reverse); likewise No. 4 of No. 2. And the two third editions of the Key may constitute a further case of rivalry, in which Curll's example was again at once followed by Tooke. 2 2 8 . Another edition in 12mo, 1714 (Curll?): Blackwell's cat. 197, item 1410, says: "Swift, A Tale of a Tub, 1714, with a complete Key to the Tale of a Tub, 1714, 2 vols, in 1, 12mo, etc." — I have not seen such a copy (see No. 227, ante, note 3). *

The composition of Vol. XI, 1762 (No. 53, ante) betrays what happened in that year, namely: A double leaf, bearing title Vol. XI, 1762, and Contents Vol. XI, was placed before above title. The last two leaves of the book (p. 189 + 3 pp. blank or advs. ?) were cut away (the two stubs are clearly visible), after which pp. 189-336 were added (p. 189 bears the last few lines of the text, p.

It was done by Justus van Effen, and is based on the 1720 English edition printed in Holland (see No. 17, ante). It contains The History Of Martin, &c., but Van Effen doubts its authenticity. — Vol. I contains the Tale, the battle, and the Discourse; in Vol. II there are the same prose pieces as in the second part of the 1720 English ed., printed in Holland (see No. 17), together with the Project For The Advancement Of Religion; but no poetical pieces. — Copies, as a rule, have no plates; however, I have seen a copy with 8 plates, the same as those in the next edition (1732), but probably they do not really belong to it.

Penn has such a copy, with leaves P 1-3 (Table des Matieres) added from the Swiss edition of 1756. After some time Scheurleer's stock of plates was apparently exhausted, and to supply the want, he provided his remaining copies with the plates of the 'Lausanne & Geneve' edition, 1742 (see No. 281, post). From this time dates a certain co-operation between Scheurleer and Bousquet & Co. (cf. Nos. 268 and 282, as well as No. 270, Vol. Ill, and 283, post). 2 6 8 . Another edition of Vol.

Contains (pp. 320 — end): Fortsetzung des Pines Geschichte, which is an almost literal translation of the allegory of the three brothers Peter, Martin and Jack in Swift's Tale (Sections II, IV, VI and XI). Dr. Hermann Ullrich Robinson und Robinsonaden, Teil I (Literarhistorische Forschungen, VII. Heft, Weimar, 1898), mentions on p. 118 four editions: 1726, 1729, 1734 (Schneeberg, bey C. W. Fulden. — Apparently different from the 3rd ed. mentioned above), and 1744. I have not seen any of them, and can therefore not say whether they also contain the translation of the allegory. Pp. 8-320 is a greatly enlarged version of a much earlier work, which appeared in 1668, in English, French, German and Dutch. Its English title is: The Isle of Pines, Or A late Discovery of afourth Island in Terra Australis, Incogiita. Being a true Relation of Incognita etc. London, 1668. — Sm. 4to; 2 pp., 1-9 + bl. (B.M.

IV

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 'Motte' Editions The first five editions of Gulliver's Travels were all published by Benjamin Motte. They form a group together, and give rise to the following observations: Sequence and denomination: (1) A edition (1st 8vo ed.), publ. 28 Oct. 1726. (2) AA edition (2nd 8vo ed.), publ. medio Nov. 1726. (3) B edition (3rd 8vo ed.), publ. Dec. 1726. (4) Second Edition (4th 8vo ed.), publ. May 4, 1727. (5) [Third Edition] (1st 12mo ed.), with the year 1727, but published early in 1728. — Re-issued 1731. The first three editions, long considered different issues only, have been proved to be separate editions (see Lucius L. Hubbard, Contributions, 1922; and Harold Williams, The Library for Dec. 1925, and Gulliver's Travels for the First Edition Club, 1926). Both Hubbard and Williams say that these three 8vo editions were followed in 1727, first by a 12mo, then by another 8vo edition. I cannot quite agree with them. It is correct to say, as both do, that the 12mo edition was printed before the 8vo edition, because a comparison of the texts shows that the former has not the literal corrections mentioned in the Errata of Ford's letter to Motte of Jan. 3, 1727, whereas The Second Edition has them, which shows the time of printing before and after that date. However, it is not the printing, but the publication, which concerns us here. Publication of The Second Edition took place on May 4, 1727 (adv. in The Post Boy of that date). And publication of the 12mo edition cannot have taken place until after Dec. 28, 1727, the date for the four illustrations exactly suiting them as they occur for the first time in the 12mo edition. As long, therefore, as no copies have turned up without them — and although several copies have gone through my hands, I have never seen one — I prefer to stick to the following order: (a) three 8vo editions in 1726, hitherto distinguished as A, AA and B, of which only Vol. II of the second edition is described as The Second Edition. (b) one 8vo edition in 1727, with The Second Edition on the title-page of Vol. I, and The Second Edition, Corrected on that of Vol. II. (c) one 12mo edition in 1727 (or rather in the beginning of 1728); and the same edition, consisting of exactly the same sheets, but with new title-pages, bearing the year 1731. Neither of them has any indication of edition on the title-pages. This sequence has the advantage of being the conventional one. Pope, Swift and Ford all meant the 1727 8vo edition, when they spoke of the 'second' edition (cf. Corresp., Ill, 381; V, 26, 37; and 'A Letter from Gulliver to Sympson', dated April 2, 1727, for the first time printed in Faulkner's Works, Vol. Ill, 1735, where Gulliver says: "I have sent you some Corrections, which you may insert, if ever there should be a second Edition.") The fact that Bathurst, Motte's partner and successor and therefore not to be considered as an outsider, placed The Fourth Edition, Corrected on the title-page in 1742, shows his opinion, however wrong it may be for the rest, that three 192

editions had then preceded. And as to Motte himself, he may of course have been responsible, as Mr. Williams asserts (The Library, Dec. 1925, p. 261), for the placing of The Second Edition on the title-page of Vol. II of the AA edition, though, considering the circumstance that this edition was produced in haste, it may very well have been the printer who did it. At any rate it is noteworthy that this procedure was not continued in the case of the B edition, and that after it the 'Second' edition was very definitely described as The Second Edition and The Second Edition, Corrected. Nor can the latter description be explained as meaning: 'the corrected second (AA) edition'. Apart from the consideration that there should have been no comma in that case, this interpretation would be contrary to fact, for it is not the 'corrected second (= A A) edition', but rather the 'corrected first (= A) edition'. The only alternative is that the words in question mean: this is (absolutely) the second edition, the three preceding editions of 1726 counting as one, and compared with them corrections (from Ford's Errata) have been made in this one.' This is not only the usual explanation in similar cases, but in this special case, I think, the only correct one. On the above considerations I think it advisable to stick to the wellestablished practice of calling the three 1726 editions first (A, A A and B), the 1727 8vo edition second, and the 1727 (= 1731) 12mo edition third; after which Bathurst's 1742, 1747 and 1751 editions as fourth, fifth and sixth follow in regular sequence. Contents: The work consists of four 'Voyages', distinguished as Parts I, II, III and IV respectively. Each of the Motte editions has two 'Volumes', each volume containing two 'Parts'. Titles: There are five titles: a general title in Vol. I, serving both as general title to the whole work and as general tide to Vol. I; moreover two special tides, one to each of the two 'Parts' of Vol. I; further a general tide to Vol. II, and a special title to Part IV, but no special title to Part III. All the five titles are within double-lined frames. Portrait: There is a frontispiece portrait of Gulliver in all the copies of the A, AA, and B editions, and in some copies of the Second Edition and of the two 12mo issues, all from the same plate, but in different states: (1) the first has the inscription "Captain Lemuel Gulliver, of Redriff Aetat, suae 58." on a tablet under the oval (in all L. P., and in the earlier Sm. P. copies of the A edition); (2) the second has the same inscription round the oval, the tablet bearing a Latin inscription (in the later Sm. P. copies of the A edition, in all the copies of the AA and B edition, and in the earlier copies of the second), but it has been retouched; (a) printed on paper with vertical chainlines (in the later copies of the Second Edition); (b) printed on paper with horizontal chainlines in the later copies of the 1727, 12mo edition, and in the earlier copies of its 1731 re-issue; also in a few L. P. copies of the A edition, in which they form a late insertion, and two of which are now known: the Ham House copy, and the Pierpont Morgan copy (with MS. corrections in the hand of Charles Ford). So there is no portrait in the middle copies of the Second Edition, the earlier ones of the 1727, 12mo edition, and the later ones of its 1731 re-issue.

The Ham House Gulliver, a very exceptional copy sold at Sotheby's on June 21, 1938, to the American Rosenbach Co., who resold it to its present owner, Lord Rothschild, is a L. P. copy in the original boards, totally uncut, measuring 251 x 150 mm., apparently the only copy existing in this state. The original purchaser, the fourth Earl of Dysart, has written inside the front cover: "Read through 2 vol. at Tunbridge in July 1731 —Dysart." I have not seen it, but the description in Sotheby's sale-catalogue, supplemented by information kindly supplied by them and Lord Rothschild would suggest that the portrait was specially made for this copy. It is in the third state (b), printed on a very large sheet of paper, cut to size: 251 x 150 mm. It has led me to an examination of my own copies of the 1727 and 1731, 12mo issues, of each of which I have possessed one with and one without the portrait. It appears that these two portraits are also the third state (b). Hence I conclude that, after the portraits in the second state still present in the earlier copies of the Second Edition had been exhausted, and after an interval during which no portrait was available, the portraits in the third state (a) and (b) came into being, and were applied as mentioned above. They must therefore belong to a time between the second half of 1728, and 1731. Four maps and two plans: There are four maps (one to each of the four Parts) and two plans (in Part III), in all the Motte editions. Those in the four 8vo editions are from larger-size plates; they do not occur again. Those in the two 12mo editions are from smaller-size plates; they were used again by Bathurst in the Gullivers belonging to the Miscellanies, 1742, &c. (Nos. 66-9, ante), but those in the separate Bathurst editions, 1748, &c. (Nos. 304-6, post) are from different plates. Illustrations: The two 12mo editions have four illustrations, one to each Part, which were used again by Bathurst in 1748, &c. (Nos. 304—5, post). Verses: In his letter to Swift of Feb. 18, 1727, Pope mentions three verses (Nos. 3, 1, 4 below), which supplemented by a fourth (No. 2 below) first appeared as a separate publication (about March 1727 — cf. Corresp., Ill, 380-1):

Several / Copies /Of / Verses / On Occasion of / Mr. Gulliver's / Travels. / — / Never before Printed. / — / [ornament] / — / London: / Printed for Benj. Motte, at the Middle Temple / Gate in Fleet-street. MDCCXXVII. 8vo; [A]-D 4 , 2 pp. (h.t. + bl.), 2 pp. (f.t. + bl.), 5-30, 2 pp. blank. The 26 pages text (pp. 5-20), containing four Verses (1. To Quinbus Flestrim. 2. The Lamentation. 3. To Mr. Lemuel Gulliver. 4. Mary Gulliver To Capt. Lemuel Gulliver.), after removal of the page numbers and the signatures, were then compressed, from the type that had been kept standing, to 20 pages. Next new page indications and signatures ( ) ( and a, b respectively) were introduced, while the last page was provided with the catchword 'Part,' after which these 20 pages were placed before the text of the Second Edition of the Travels. Later on, one more verse was added (5. The Words of the King of Brobdingnag.), in the separate publication by the insertion of a double-leaf, signed * (numbered 17, 14, 15,16) between pages 16 and 17, and in the other

case by the addition of a double-leaf, signed * (again marked )(, and provided with the catchword 'Part' on the 4th page) placed after the 20 pages. Variants occur, the result of wrong mating. My own copy of the Second Edition has the 4 Verses of the second issue, the 5th of the first issue. Griffith No. 190 (a) mentions a copy of the Second Edition in the Lefferts Collection (Harvard), which has Verses 1, 2, 3 of the second issue, followed by Verses 3, 4 of the first issue, so that Verse 3 occurs twice, while Verse 5 is absent. In the 12mo edition there were at first no Verses at all, but later on they were also inserted into it, reprinted and all five at once together, in the order 1, 2, 5, 3, 4. They are mentioned on the tide-page of the Second Edition, not on that of the 12mo edition. In Faulkner's edition of the Travels (Vol. I l l of the Works), 1735, verses 1, 2 and 4 are ascribed to Arbuthnot, Pope, and Gay; but the latest criticism (Normal Ault, New Light On Pope, London, 1949, p. 231 etc.) gives all five to Pope. Cf. Nos. 293, 294, 1224. Pagination: The A, AA and 'Second' editions have separate pagination to each 'Part', the B edition and the two 12mo issues have continuous pagination to each 'Volume'. Further details: Each of the five editions shows various irregularities. Some of the more important and characteristic ones have been hereafter appended to the editions separately. As a rule these so-called 'points', together with the tidepages and collations, will suffice to determine copies; but for a fuller discussion of mistakes, misprints, signatures, founts, etc., and the conclusions to be drawn from them, see Hubbard, and Williams, in their works mentioned above. 2 8 9 .

(Houyhnhnms). Frontisp. portrait of Gulliver (first or second state), 4 maps and 2 plans. Note: Besides the ordinary small-paper copies there are also some copies printed on "a Royal Paper," which, Hubbard, Contributions, p. 28, says, "represent an intermediate if not the final printing of the first edition". This is a question perhaps impossible to decide. The only available evidence points in the other direction. Judging from the ornaments, type, and page numbers, the four Parts were printed in four different printing-houses; and the order of printing of the L. P. and Sm. P. sheets, not only as groups, but even as separate units, may have differed in these four printing-houses. Only as to leaf E in Part IV can we say with certainty that its L. P. printing preceded its Sm. P. printing — see point (5) below. On this point my article, "The Publication of Gulliver's Travels", in The Dublin Magazine, Jan. 1948, p. 26 wants correction. L. P. copies should have the portrait in the first state; Sm. P. copies have it either in the first or second state. Some L. P. copies (Ham House, and Pierpont Morgan) have it in the third state (b). Distinguishing marks between L. P. and Sm. P. copies are: (1) Part I, p. 17,1. 22: 'Potio' in L. P., 'Potion' in Sm. P. copies. (2) Part II, p. 39: Certain letters at the beginning of 11. 1-4 have failed to print in L. P. copies; not so in Sm. P. ones. (3) Part IV, p. 50: In L. P. copies (B. M., Forster, Bodl., U.L.C., Armagh) the first letters of the words 'sold' and 'til' in 11. 10 and 11 have entirely dropped out, these words therefore reading 'old' and 'ill'; but by mistake the compositor has reinserted t h e ' s ' three lines higher up, so that the word 'trea-ted' reads 'trea-sted'. In Sm. P. copies t h e ' s ' a n d ' t ' show dislocation only, but they have not dropped out. (4) Part IV, p. 62: In L. P. copies the page number is misprinted 26, in Sm. P. copies correct 62. (5) Part IV, leaf 2E 8 (pp. 63-4) is a cancel in Sm. P. copies, not in L. P. ones. Page 64, 1. 1 in L. P. copies has 'ours and give', while the catchword on that page is 'frequent'; in Sm. P. copies the three words are 'ours or give', and the catchword has been altered into 'sufficient' to avoid tautology with 'frequent' some lines higher up, the result being that it no longer corresponds with the first word on p. 65, which was and remained 'frequent'. — This proves this sheet L. P. to have preceded Sm. P.

(6) Part IV, p. 90,1. 18: In L. P. copies 'carryon', in Sm. P. ones 'car ryon', or 'carry on'. A more doubtful point is: Part III, p. 90, 11. 12-14: Some Sm. P. copies have two misspelt words ('Conspir/'cies' and 'turbuLzncy'); others, together with all L. P. copies, have correctly 'Conspiracies' and 'turbukncy'. The following details, common to Sm. P. and L. P. copies alike, can only serve as distinguishing marks between the A and A A editions: (1) Part I, p. 35,1. 5: All the A ed. copies have correctly 'Subsidies', where the AA ed. ones have 'Subsidies'. (2) Part III, p. 74: All the A ed. copies have this page misnumbered '44', where the AA ed. ones have correctly '74'. (3) Part III, leaf G 6 (pp. 91-2): In all the A ed. copies this leaf is a cancel ("Part III" at foot); in the AA ed. ones not. (4) Part IV, p. 52, 1. 1: In all the A ed. copies 'buth is'; in AA ed. copies 'but his'. The following, which have often been mentioned as 'points', occur in both A and AA ed. copies, and can therefore be no 'points' at all: (1) Part I, pp. 62 and 64: Three times the number 1724 is wrong for 1728. The number is correct in the B and following editions. (2) Part I, p. 145,11. 8-9: Lilliput is wrong for Bkfuscu. Only correct in the 'Second' edition. (3) Part III, p. 94: The seventh chapter is misnumbered 'Chap. V.'. Wrong in all the Motte editions. (4) Part III, p. 114, 11. 6-7: The word 'singular' appears as 'ngu-lar'. However, in some of the AA edition copies this misprint has been corrected, apparently during the press-work, for it occurs in sheet I, which is identical in the A and AA editions (see note under the AA ed.). Sm. P. copy: Penn. 2 9 0 . The A A edition: Titles 1, 2 and 3 are the same printing as those in the A edition; 4 and 5 are different: 4. General title to Vol. II:

M.DCC.XXVI.

5. The special title to Part IV is at first sight the same as that in the A edition, but a closer view shows that the word 'Voyage' is printed with capitals in the A edition, and with ordinary letters in the AA edition. For the rest they have the same appearance. [Titles all five in double-lined frame] 8vo; A - K 8 ; [tt] 3 , B-L 8 , M 2 — 2 pp. (1st title + bl.), 1 p.

Sheet I of Part IV occurs in two different settings, distinguishable i.a. by widening out of text (pp. 119, 120, 122) and the absence of 'Part IV' at the foot of page 113 in one of them. Neither of these settings is the same as the corresponding sheet in the A edition (cf. Hubbard, Contributions, pp. 32, 34).

Sold by G. Risk, G. Ewing and W. Smith in Dame's Street. And the next number, Sat. Dec. 3, 1726, p. 348 has: Just Publish'd, etc. (as before). — From these, as well as from the imprints of Nos. 298, 299, it appears that Risk, Ewing and Smith were booksellers only, and not printers. But the Hyde copy (297) has 'Printed by and for' in the imprint, from which it may be concluded that the two advertisements above can only refer to the Hyde copy, which was therefore published about Dec. 2, 1726. As to the authority of its text it is noteworthy that, even some months before Motte's Second Edition (No. 293), it is the first edition to contain some alterations in the spirit of Ford's Errata. For Swift's opinion of Hyde, see Corresp. Ill 438, IV 56. See also note, No. 302.

These two volumes are the same printing as the preceding two; only the titles are new. But these titles are wrong, the first volume containing 'Gulliver', the second 'Brobdingnag'. Copy: Am. Antiq. Soc., Worcester, Mass. From the above it appears that about 1808-9 Carey moved from Market Street 122 to Market Street 126, and that therefore the volumes with title 'Travels' must be earlier than those with tides 'Voyages'. Judging from the tides 'Travels' it would seem that the original plan was four parts, but that this plan was abandoned, after which the tides 'Travels' were cancelled and replaced by the new (though faulty) tides 'Voyages'.

Dutch Translations Like the English original the first Dutch translation consists of four parts in two volumes. There are four titles, one to each 'Part', all in red and black. These four titles are the same but for the appropriate alteration of the 'Voyage' and the 'Part', while the vignettes are all different:

7T2, A-E 1 2 , F 1 0 , 7r2, A-G 1 2 , H a — 2 pp. (both blank), 2 pp. (t. + bl.), 1-139 + bl., 2 pp. (both blank), 2 pp. (t. + bl.), [1]-172. Frontisp. portrait of Gulliver, 4 maps and 2 plans; moreover 4 illustrations, one to each 'Part'. The catalogue of the Bibl. Maatsch. Ned. Letterk.; Leiden, says that the translator was C. van Blankesteyn. In the library of the Univ. of Michigan (Hubbard Coll.) there is a copy which, after the first title-page, has a printed leaf of dedication, reading:

Aan / Onse Broeder / Thomas Van Dalen, / Vendumeester Van's Gravenhage, / Leesgierige Liefhebber / Der / Historien, Rey2en, &c. I Werd / Deeze Koddige En Vermakelyke / Reyze / Naar Verscheyde / Onbekende Landen, / Door / Lemuel Gulliver / Ontdekt, / Met Veel Genegentheyd / Opgedragen, / Door / Zyn Ed: I Dienstbereyde / Broeders / Alberts En Van Der Kloot. Though several copies have gone through my hands, I have never seen one with this extra leaf. In the Penn copies the blank leaf and the title-leaf form a double-leaf (chainlines horizontal), into which the portrait (chainlines horizontal) has been inserted. In the 'Hubbard' copy the portrait and leaf of

dedication apparently form a double-leaf (chainlines vertical), into which the title-leaf (chainlines horizontal) has been inserted after removal of its blank companion-leaf. This translation and the French one published at The Hague (No. 371, post), which are the first Gullivers containing illustrations, must have appeared at about the same time (Jan. 1727), as appears from some of the plates in these two editions. For a discussion see note under No. 371, post. There are signs of haste during the production. The word "Reisbeschryving" (in the singular) in the four titles should have been in the plural; while the word "Deel" (meaning both 'volume* and 'part') gives rise to confusion, for in the titles it means 'Part', and at the top of the maps it means 'Volume'. But there is another error of a more serious character. Part I ended on p. 135; the compositor continued the text for Part II on its verso, thus leaving no room for the title of Part II to be inserted. Unfortunately F 8 (pp. 135-6) was in the middle of a sheet, and to remedy the mistake, F 8 had to be cancelled (stub visible). It was replaced by a double leaf (135; blank; blank; 136), and the title of Part II (turn-over visible) was placed between the two blanks. The result — the beginning of Part II on the verso of a leaf of which the recto is blank — remains a strange sight. To avoid a renewal of this trouble the pagination of Vol. II was made separate for the two Parts. 3 6 7 . Another issue: There are copies in which pp. 1-120 of Vol. I have been reset. The difference is easily distinguishable by the printer's ornaments and the capital at the beginning of chapter I, the type-size of the headlines, and variations in spelling. The first issue has 'gepresen' in the first line of page 3 (in some copies of this issue this page is numbered, in others not), and 'yf' in the last line of page 7; the second issue has 'gepreezen' (this page is numbered), and ' l y f . My presumption is that, while the volume was in course of printing, it was resolved — perhaps as a result of the enormous sale of the work in England — to print more copies than originally intended. However, the type of pp. 1-120 having already been distributed, it had to be reset. Copy: Penn. 3 6 8 . In 1728 a third volume appeared, consisting of a translation of the spurious Vol. I l l , 1727 (see No. 292, ante), followed by a translation of the four Keys, 1726 (see No. 1215, post). There is one general title (in red and black) to the whole volume, another (in black only) to the second part, and four special titles (all in black), i.e. one to each of the four Keys.

Six plates, one given with Part I, one with Part II, two with Part III (one of them destined for Part II), two with Part IV (one of them destined for Part I). Note: This is the shape in which the four Parts were originally issued. But the Bericht Aan Den Binder — besides giving instructions as to the placing of the plates (two in Part I opposite pp. 6 and 46, two in Part II, opposite pp. 9 and 52, one in Part III, opposite p. 9, and one in Part IV, opposite p. 33) — says that in binding the four parts into one volume, all the tides before each 'Part' (that is 6 titles in all) have to be cancelled, the Contents of the four 'Parts' have to be placed consecutively before the text, and the general tide with its half-tide (given to buyers with Part IV, at the end of that 'Part') have to be put in front. After these instructions have been carried out, the Bericht itself becomes superfluous, and copy in its new state should therefore collate: 4 pp. (h.t. and general t.), [IIIJ-VI, [IIIJ-VI, [Vj-VIII, [V]-XII, [1]-114, [1]—136, [1]—128, [1]-158. — 6 plates.

This translation appeared in Jan. 1727 (cf. S. Goulding, Swift En France, 1924, pp. 57-8). As regards the plates in this French translation and the Dutch one (No. 366, ante), the 4 maps and 2 plans are different, which — at least for the 4 maps — is but natural, as they bear French and Dutch names respectively. Still, the occurrence of some Dutch names in the French maps (where the original English maps have English names) points to priority of the Dutch ones. The other 5 plates, however, are all the same printing. T w o of them, the portrait and the illustration to Lilliput, are worth a closer examination. Both have a space at the foot, the former bearing the name "L. Gulliver.", the latter left blank. But both show traces of erasure of an earlier inscription. In the latter the words "Voyages De Gulliver" are still faintly visible. This justifies the conclusion that, after these two plates were finished in their original state, the two publishing firms came to an agreement to let them and the other 3 plates serve for both editions. Consequently the engraver effected the erasures, placed "L. Gulliver." in the space under the portrait, left the space under the 'Lilliput' plate blank, made the three remaining plates, and provided the four illustrations with the indications Fig. I, Fig. II, Fig. Ill, Fig. IV; all this suited the two editions equally well. About the middle of 1727 the French translation went into a second edition (see No. 372, post), but it is curious to observe that the publishers had not then the disposal of the old plates, for the plates in this second edition are all new. Yet the old plates had not been destroyed, for the old portrait appeared again in 1728 (Nos. 368, ante, and 373, post), while all the original plates were used again in 1730 (No. 374, post), and again, retouched, in 1741 (No. 375, post). Copy: Penn. 3 7 2 . Another [second] edition of Vols. I and II (1727): The titles (red and black) and the collations are the same as those of the [first] edition (No. 371, ante), with this addition just above the ornament:

Nouvelle Traduction / plus ample, plus exacte, & plus fidèle, que J celle de Paris, avec Figures, & Cartes / Géographiques. Moreover, the line-division of the third title is slightly different :

/ Contenant le Voyage de Laputa, / Balnibarbi, Glubbdubdribb, / Luggnagg, & Japon. / My own copy lacks the second and fourth tides ; the Bibl. Nat. Paris copy (Y 2 17908) has Volume II only (with third and fourth titles). So that I cannot guarantee the second title, not having seen a copy with it. The type of this edition is smaller than that of the [first]. As the first Paris translation (see Nos. 383-5, post) appeared about the middle of April 1727, this one must belong to May or later. Copy: Penn. 3 7 3 . In 1728 a third volume was added, consisting of a translation of the spurious Vol. I l l , 1727 (see No. 292, ante), followed by a translation of the four Keys, 1726 (see No. 1215, post). There is one general title (in red and black) to the whole volume, another (in black only) to the second part, and four special titles (all in black), i.e. one to each of the four Keys.

Four illustrations, one to each 'Part'. Copies : Bibl. Nat. Paris, and Penn. In the Neue Zeitungen Von Gelehrten Sachen of Dec. 4, 1727, N. XCVII, p. 963, there is an announcement under Paris, saying that the first edition of Desfontaines is sold off, and that a new edition in smaller print has appeared. In the same number on p. 976 it is said that within a month 1500 copies of the first edition have been sold. And in N. XXVI, March 29, 1728, p. 246, there is a review of this edition. The Privilege Du Roy mentioned on the title-pages and printed at the end of 'Tome Second' had been given (20 Mars 1727) to Hypolite-Louis Guerin, who, the next day, "faisait part du present Privilege aux Sieurs Gabriel Martin & Jacques Guerin". In accordance with this participation the first edition (same printing) appeared with two other imprints on the titles of both volumes:

When compared with the first 'Hague' edition (see No. 371, ante) it appears : (1) that this edition came out three months later, April 1727 (cf. S. Goulding, Swift En France, 1924, p. 60); (2) that, whereas the 'Hague' translation was a complete one, this was only an abridgement and adaptation, made by the abbot Pierre-François Guyot Desfontaines; (3) that this 'Paris' edition did not add Vol. Ill ; (4) that plates 1 and 3 point to complete, plates 2 and 4 to partial imitation of the corresponding ones in the 'Hague' edition, while the portrait, the 4 maps, and the 2 plans were not included. 3 8 6 .

Penn has a copy that once belonged to Hypolite-Louis Guerin (the publisher of the other editions), apparent from his autograph signature HL.G. at the end of the Préface, p. XXXIX. Query: Does this mean that he was the publisher of this edition as well ? And was the facetious imprint, derived from the text itself, simply a blind ? And if so, for what purpose ?

The paper is different, but the frontispieces are from the same plates. Probably No. 398 is earlier, as Tiger is there a 'Libraire* only, whereas in No. 398A he is an 'ImprimeurLibraire'.

The gathering of the ten leaves of prefatory matter is rather curious. There are two separate double-leaves, not gathered together: the first is bl. + bl. + first page 'Vorrede' (signed )( 2) -f second page 'Vorrede'; the second is the other four pages of the 'Vorrede' (the first of these four signed )( 3). Within the first of these double-leaves have been gathered one doubleleaf separately, bearing portrait of Gulliver and general title, both unsigned; followed by two double-leaves, gathered together, bearing the 'Dedication', and signed As to text and plates this German translation is based on the 1727 The Hague French translation (see No. 371, ante). The Anhang is a rather poor performance. The 'Vorrede' says (1) that at the French court this work has been so well received that M. de Marinaux has been ordered to make a comedy based on Gulliver, and that M. Romansi is to perform it on the Italian stage (2) that Vol. Ill will be published soon. (I have not seen it. Did it ever appear ?) The Neue Zeitungen Von Gelehrten Sachen of Dec. 4, 1727, N.

(only: 'V. Theil.' removed from foot of first page of each new sheet), but the prefatory matter is new. — In the Vorrede the translator condemns preceding translations as having been based on a French translation (the 'Hague' one), in its turn based on the English original which had been tampered with in the press, so that they contained double mistakes; whereas he praises his own, translated direct from the English text corrected by the author himself (Faulkner's?). This translator knows how to appreciate Swift: he defends Swift's intentions in Gulliver's Travels against stupid critics, i.a. Orrery and Young. 4 3 0 .

Another issue or edition: The same title and collation as the first issue, but partly a different printing. The difference is at once visible from the fact that the first issue has the rules on the title-page both in two parts, the second both in one. There are several more differences, only a few of the more characteristic of which are: P. 9,1.7,firstissue: 'be worth nothing.'; second issue: 'be worth remarking.' P. 38, first issue: no side-note to 1. 4; second issue: side-note 'De beDo civili, 1. 1.' Pp. 41 and 44, first issue: page numbers in square brackets; second issue: in round brackets.

The W-df-r Prophecy. B O U T three Months ago at W-nd-r, a poor Knight's Widowwas buried in the Cloytters. In digging the Grave, the Sexton ftruck againft a liliali Leaden Coffer, about half a Foot in length, and four Inches wide. The poor Man expecting he had difcovered a Treafure, opened it with fome difficulty ; but found only a fmall Parchment, rolled up very fa ft, put into a Leather Cale; which Cafe was tied at thè top, and fealed with a St. George, the Impreifion on black Wax, very rude and Gotkck. The Parchment was carried to a Gentleman of Learning, who found in it the following Lines, written in a black Old Englijb Letter, and in the Orthography of the Age, which feems to be about T w o hundred Years ago. I made a'ihift to obtain a Copy of it ; but the Tranfcriber, I fird, hath in manv Parts alter'd the Spelling ro the Modern way.

494. An I Answer / T o / Bickerstaff. / Some Reflections upon Mr. Bickerstaff's Predictions for the / Year MDCCVIII. / By A Person Of Quality. I have not seen a copy of the original pamphlet, but it was printed in Swift's Works, Vol. VIII Part I, 4to ed., 1765, pp. 232-7. Contents and style almost certainly prove it to be by Swift himself. Prof. Davis, Prose Works, Vol. II, p. xii, points to an unmistakable allusion to A Tale of a Tub, a possible reason for its not having been printed at the time. Internal evidence shows that it was written seven weeks before Partridge's predicted death, i.e. about Feb. 7, 1708; and that the Predictions had appeared nine days before that, i.e. at the end of Jan. 1708. It contains an invitation to Partridge to publish an answer, which duly appeared during the next three weeks (see No. 1022, post).

Monck Mason, The History and Antiquities of St. Patrick's, 1820, p. 252, 1st col., says that Ames was duped into the belief that the Prophecy, which Swift pretended to have quoted from Johan Haukyns's Merlin's Prophecies, London, 1530, p. 39 (a work that never existed), was a genuine one; that this mistake was copied by Luckombe; but that his successor Herbert was not to be imposed upon so easily, and rectified the error. Dr. Johnson was likewise duped, supposing the Explanatory Notes alone to have been the work of Swift. — Cf. Poems, 102.

Continued, twice a week, on Tuesday and Saturday, in 52 numbers, from Jan. 13,1711 to May 19,1711 inclusive, by William Harrison, Swift's protégé (numbering 1-6, 285-330). — For Harrison's 'Tatler' see R. C. Elliott, "Swift's Little Harrison, Poet and Continuator of the Tatler", in Studies in 'Philology, XLVI, Oct. 4, 1949, pp. 544-59. Opinions on Swift's share in the 'Tatler' differ. Cf. T.Sc. IX, pp. [XV], 3-66; Poems, pp. LII, 124, 136, 1087; Prose Works, II, pp. [V]-VI, XXV, etc. According to the latest critics, Williams and Davis, the following pieces are by Swift: Verse: Nos. 9, 238, 301 (Swift and Harrison); Prose: Nos. 230, 5 and 20 (both in Harrison's 'Tader'); 21, 31, 67, 68, 249, 258, 1, 2, 8, 28 (the last four in Harrison's 'Tader').

London: Printed for John Morphew, near Stationers-Hall,

1710.

Vol. I, Nos. 14-45 and the first half of 46 are by Swift. Also: Vol. II, No. 34, July 24, 1712 Remarks on the Bp. of S. Asaph's Preface), Vol. Ill, No. 16, Jan. 16, 1712-13 (An Appendix to the Conduct of the Allies-, and Remarks on the Barrier Treaty), and Vol. Ill, No. 21, Feb. 2, 1712-13 (A Complete Refutation of the Falsehoods alleged against Erasmus Lewis, Esq.). Copies: B.M. 627 m 20, and Penn. Temple Scott IX, 69, has this note: "The first number of 'The Examiner* was issued on August 3rd, 1710, and the paper was continued until July 26th, 1711 (52 numbers). On December 6th, 1711, William Oldisworth revived it, and issued it weekly until December 18th, 1712, after which date it was published twice a week until July 26th, 1714, though it occasionally happened that only one was issued in a week. The last number was No. 19 of the sixth volume, so that Oldisworth edited vols. II., III., IV., V. and what was published of Vol. VI. (47, 50, 50, 50, and 19 numbers). The death of the Queen put an end to the publication." Perhaps 'The Examiner. London: Printed for James Roberts, in Warwicklane, 1714' (later numbers were printed for E. Griffis, or printed and sold by Edm. Powell) was a continuation. Texas has Nos. 1 (Nov. 3, 1714), and 4-12 (Nov. 13-Dec. 11,1714). See Powell Stewart, British Newspapers And Periodicals 1632-1800 (Austin, 1950), 68. Edinburgh reprint:

Note: At any rate Nos. 1-12 are different printings. Possibly Nos. 10, 11, 13, 17, 23 ('Tompson') in the preceding entry are intruders in the 'Carter' set; or some time after the beginning Carter and Tompson may have joined issue. The imprints always say: 'Printed bj Carter', and 'Printedfor Tompson'. Collected edition :

This piece was first printed privately, but no copy seems to have survived (Cf. Prose Works, III, pp. XX, 211 — Journal to Stella, Dec. 8, Jan. 1). Though dated 1711, it appeared in the first week of Dec. 1710 (see Journal to Stella, Dec. 8,1710). The date at the beginning of the text, August 30,1710, is a blind. There seems to be a Dublin edition, and an answer to it (Corresp., I, 233-4 n., 235 n.). I have seen neither. 5 2 9 . Another issue: A Short I Character / O f / His Ex. T.E. of W. / LL. of J .

Copies: Library of Congress, Chapin Libr., and Texas. As the text begins on page [5], it would seem at first sight that a leaf (halftitle ?) is wanting in front.

8vo (in fours); A-D 4 — 2 pp. (t. + bl.), 3-12 (The Advantages), 13-30 (Remarks), 31-2 (Appendix). Copy: Penn. Remarks refers to a pamphlet, containing both 'The Nature and Consequences' and the 'Reasons' (see the tide), which is a serious piece on the presbyterian side, and of which a separate edition, Dublin, 1732, 12 mo, seems to exist (see Prose Works, IV, 25). But these 'Reasons', in spite of the similarity of the dtle, have nothing to do with Swift's satirical work: 'Reasons humbly offered to the Parliament of Ireland For Repealing the Sacramental Test, &c. In Favour Of The Catholics', of which no edition, either separate or in combination with other pieces, seems to exist earlier than in Political Tracts, 1738, Vol. II, 253 (cf. T. Sc. IV, 87, etc.).
